Thanks! Yes... every bit is a start. :)

I had to change my bike seat soon after I got it. It had this really slim racing seat that was so uncomfortable. Lol. I bought a much wider, more comfortable seat that I'm sure will continue to be a lot more comfortable as I lose weight. It's way better than the old one, but still hurts if I spend too much time on it. Lol.

Stay tuned!! :)

That is great news - you gotta keep moving! You will be surprised how fast you will progress in just a month's time. No excuses moving forward, just get on the bike and GO!! I am so happy for you! I hope you are well Friend.

TOGETHER we can be BETTER

Thanks MJ! I'm the queen of excuses when it comes to exercise. I think it's all about developing a routine, and also genuinely becoming better at it. Having it right in my living room helps remove the barrier for excuses! And the desire to be more fit. Remembering my why. :)

WAY TO GO! Check out some of the great videos they have you can watch while biking indoors. Check out youtube.

I have been wondering about these, do you find it stable and you don't wobble and shake when riding? We only have one bike trail near here and the one I use to ride has been having some crime issues I do not like riding in the streets so I was thinking about one of these. What brand did you buy if I may ask?

Thanks! I like it a lot! I find it really stable... no wobbling.

I bought a basic trainer. It's by Tacx. A model like one of these. https://tacx.com/basic-trainers/

You can find them at any bike or fitness store, and they aren't too pricey. I got mine with the mat included. :)

That's awesome! I wish I had a bike trainer. I have an indoor exercise bike but it's not as comfortable as my regular bike.

I love it. It can be a bit hard on your back tire; some people will get a special bike trainer tire. I haven't, but I'll probably need to repair my rear tire in the spring; it won't stay inflated anymore. Lol
